A big milestone, engine and tranny are back in car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Thanks to all who have helped me get this far.
I have reconnected clutch cable before anything else as I want to make sure this whole thing with the arm is correct. I now have 3/4 -1" play when pulling pedal up. I think there is still enough slack in cable that excess pressure is not on TOB. When pedal fully depressed to floor there is about 3/8" (rough measure) remaining before arm would hit the trans case. Here is pic of cable end. Does everything sound like it is within spec? Thx |

Oh well, never that easy. Still idling fast.
I capped all the ports on the plenum (or hoses leading to plenum). That brought it down some. Need to check ignition timing but before I do wanted to check ... What hoses or ports need to be capped? Should the mps or distributor vac lines be disconnected or capped. Are there any that should remain connected? Set knob in timing light to 27 degrees, idle at 3500, look for TDC mark on fan. Correct? Thanks again. |

Remove all hoses from the plenum. Don't skip this step and lie, you won't find the,issue. Remove the hoses from the plenum and cap off the hole at the plenum. If there is a fitting with gasket, remove it and cap off th hole. Then y will know. |
